Question

I have a question regarding the creation of a utility that executes another command.

My script called notify will be placed in my /usr/local/bin directory and will do the following:

Execute the command that it was told to execute, then play a beep.

An example use case is the following:

> notify grep -r "hard_to_find_word" /some/huge/directory/

This is just an example, but could involve some other slower commands.

Essentially, notify will execute the grep, and then play a sound.

I know how to play a sound, but I do not know how to execute the provided command.

How do I execute the command that follows the call of notify?

Thank you for any input!
